What matters now

  • The model range is unusually wide ($82.65 to $572.17). The outcome hinges heavily on assumptions, so read the point estimate with caution.
  • Solid but not exceptional quality (61/100) and above fair value, neither a clear bargain nor a standout compounder.

Analysis

Cheniere Energy, Inc (LNG) currently trades at $265.77, while our model-based Fair Value estimate is $211.18, implying the stock looks roughly 20.5% overvalued today. We read business quality at 61/100 (solid quality), in the Energy sector. Bear case: priced above our estimate, the market already discounts strong expectations. Bull case: above-average quality can justify a premium, the entry price still matters most (evidence: medium).

Over the trailing twelve months, Cheniere Energy, Inc generated revenue of $20.8B at a net margin of 7.1%. Revenue grew 24.2% year over year. It earns a return on equity of 28.9%. Net debt stands at $27.0B. Fundamentals as of Jul 16, 2026

Our scenario range runs from $82.65 (bear case) to $572.17 (bull case); at $265.77, the current price sits within that range. Bear and bull are the same models run on conservative and optimistic assumptions (margins, growth, valuation multiples), so a plausible valuation range, not a price target. The share trades about 11% below its 52-week high and 43% above its 52-week low, currently above its 200-day average. For context, the median of 10 Energy peers we cover trades at -35% fair-value upside, at -21%, LNG screens cheaper than that median.

Fair Value models

Each model estimates fair value its own way; the Fair Value above is the evidence-weighted blend. Evidence (0–100) measures how completely this model’s inputs are available: well-fed models carry more weight in the blend. The spread across models is intentional, each one stresses a different value driver; dividend models, for instance, come out structurally low when payout is small.
